Ever wished you could just "check out" from existence for a few days? This used to be something you could actually do by going on holiday far away from your computer, the television and all that sort of thing, but thanks to the never-ending march of technological advancement, it's actually very difficult to "escape" things these days.
I'm really feeling the need right now. It's been a really crappy week for a lot of people. I had a shit week at work, all corners of the UK retro gaming community on Twitter appear to be having a "who can be the most intolerant wanker" competition, Octav1us Kitten is a (justifiably) emotional wreck after a copyright troll kicked the shit out of her YouTube channel, Mr Biffo (of Digitiser fame) and his wife were in a car crash (and thankfully got away with "just" a few injuries rather than anything worse) while on their honeymoon… and doubtless some other shit happened elsewhere, too.
Also the never-ending saga of toss that is Brexit continues, not that I have ever particularly given a shit about that… I just want it over one way or another now, to be perfectly honest.
I'm just at a point where I feel like I need time on another planet or something. Far away from all this. Far away from the constant anger that seems to permeate everything in the world — not just the "serious" stuff like politics any more, either, but the things that are supposed to be fun, like video games.
I do my best to try and remain positive, and to make MoeGamer and my YouTube channel the sort of places where people who want a little haven of calm and positivity might want to hang out. I think I do a pretty good job at that, but I won't pretend it's not incredibly exhausting sometimes.
